The Wrong Woman
Chapter 37

Suzanne didn’t stay in Shovale or Sudvilla during the next few days. Instead, she borrowed a fewthousand dollars from the card Nathan had given her just so she could rent a small apartment and buysome necessities.

She didn’t have an educational background, nor did she know if she had any skills fit for any type ofwork. Hence, she decided to buy flowers in bulk at Floral Market and sell them from behind her flowercart at a designated square.

Suzanne was able to earn a steady flow of cash thanks to this job. In less than half a month, she wasable to save up enough money to repay the debt.

For her, life was simple and happy. At the same time, she focused her efforts on preparing Vera’sbirthday gift.

Suzanne knew Vera adored classical themes. Hence, she spent half a month producing an embroiderypainting of “Starry Night”.

It was 8:00 am on Vera’s birthday when Suzanne was awoken by the sounds of the doorbell ringing.She got out of bed blearily are sure to comb her hair before getting the door.

Cole was standing at the doorway. He had a huge gift box in his hands.

“Good morning, Mrs. Morrison,” he greeted politely.

Suzanne squeezed out a smile at Cole. “Good morning, Mr. Gilbert.

“Mr. Morrison told me to deliver this gift to you.”

Suzanne accepted the box while looking surprised. “What’s in it?”

Cole replied, “A dress and some accessories. I’ll come back at 5:00 pm sharp to pick you up.”

Suzanne carried the hefty gift box, feeling warmth surging from her heart. She was delighted.

“Please thank Nathan on my behalf,” she said smilingly.

“Yes, ma’am.” Cole left the apartment after bidding Suzanne farewell.

Suzanne closed the door and placed the gift on her bed. After that, she undid the bowtie and openedthe box.

A beautiful dress with an intricate design could be seen sitting in the box. It was a long dress with whiteflowing lace fabric. It looked so elegant and pure, as though it was the garment of a mythical

goddess. Anyone would have marveled at its beauty if they were to lay their eyes on it.

There was a set of expensive-looking jewelry sitting next to the dress, The intricate accessories lookedabsolutely gorgeous and luxurious.

Suzanne had never worn such a beautiful dress for as long as she could possibly remember. Naturally,she had never worn such expensive jewelry before.

Women would definitely feel touched and happy whenever they say beautiful gifts meant for them. Notto mention, Nathan had specifically prepared the set just for Suzanne.

Even though Suzanne still resented him, she still felt touched.

She smiled happily as she laid the dress out on the bed and started caressing it lovingly. An animatedsparkle danced in her eyes the

whole time.

She looked forward to attending Vera’s birthday banquet. Hopefully, she could carry herself well at thebanquet. That way, she wouldn’t

embarrass Vera and Nathan.

The doorbell rang once again at that moment.

Suzanna thought Cole had returned to the apartment, so she rushed over to get the door. However, themoment she laid her eyes on the visitor, her smile gradually froze on her face before fading awayslowly..

“How did you replace out about my new home?” she asked impassively.

Sally flashed Suzanne a friendly smile before squeezing past her into the apartment without waiting foran invite.

“If Nate knows about this place, it only makes sense that I do, too. He had me pick your dress andaccessories out as well,” she replied while looking around the apartment. “Your place sure is small.”

Suzanne no longer adored the dress and the jewelry. Sadness instantly plagued her senses.

Then again, she remembered that Sally was a habitual liar and loved fabricating the truth just to drive awedge between her and Nathan., She shouldn’t believe anything Sally said.

Hence, Suzanne stated unhappily, “I didn’t invite you into my apartment. Please leave right now.”

Sally outright ignored Suzanne’s order to leave. Instead, she over to the bed while gazing at the dress.

She remarked meaningfully, “Suzanne, I came here today to adv you to keep a low profile at thebanquet. Of course, it’d be best if yo don’t show up at all. That way, no one will ever replace out that you’reNate’s wife, and you can avoid embarrassing him too.”

Sally’s words instantly shattered the last shred of eagerness that occupied Suzanne’s heart. Hercomplexion paled instantly as she clenched her fists tightly while remaining rooted to the spot.

Unfortunately, Suzanne couldn’t come up with a good reason to retort

at all.
